BUILT-IN INSTALLATION

The Altima grill can be installed as a built-in unit as shown. The island that holds the built-in unit must beconstructed of Non-combustible material.

General InformationReview the detail drawings shown and take into account the provisions shown for gas line hook-up clearance on the right side. It is recommended that ventilation holes are provided in the enclosure in the event of a gas leak. The supporting ledges or deck must be level and flat. The counter should also be level.

LocationWhen determining a suitable location take into account concerns such as exposure to wind, proximity to traffic paths and keeping any gas supply lines as short as possible. Locate the grill only in a well ventilated area. Never locate the grill in a building, breezeway, garage, shed or other such enclosed area without an approved ventilation system. During heavy use, the grill will produce a lot of smoke. Ensure there is adequate area for it to dissipate.

Clearance to Non-Combustible ConstructionA minimum of 3” clearance from the back of the grill to non-combustible construction is required for the purpose of allowing the lid to open fully. It is desirable to allow at least 6” side clearance to non-combustible construction above the cooking surface for counter space. If you will be using the rotis-serie option, the space is essential for motor and skewer clearance. The Altima grill can be place directly adjacent to non-combustible construction below the cooking surface.

Island ConstructionThe island is usually constructed of steel studs and 3/8” Durarock or a similar concrete board product, with the top being tiled and the body covered in stucco, painted or textured. The top of the diagram below is designed to hold the main grill body, while the bottom portion is used to hold the Access Doors in place. The ignitor cover plates are installed to hold the electronic starters in place.

Ignitor Plate InstallationThe push button ignitors require a standard size electrical box with a minimum depth of 2.5” to be mounted in the island unit. They should be placed on the front side of the built-in island, with the cen-ter of the ignitor button no more than 5” from the grill unit. The ignitor plates, sold separately, fit over the standard electrical box once mounted in the island unit. (See drawing on following page).

LEAK TESTING

General Information

Although all gas connections on the grill are leaked tested at the factory prior to shipment, a complete gastightness check must be performed at the installation site due to possible mishandling in shipment, or exces-sive pressure unknowingly being applied to the unit. Periodically check the whole system for leaks, or imme-diately check if the smell of gas is detected.

Before Testing

Do Not smoke while leak testing. Extinguish all open flames. Never leak test with an open flame.

Mix a solution of equal parts mild detergent or liquid soap and water.

Testing

1. Turn off the burner control knobs.2. Turn the top knob of the fuel supply cylinder counterclockwise (right to left) one rotation to

open.3. Apply the soap solution to connections of the fuel supply assembly. If no soap bubbles

appear, the grill is ok to use. If bubbles form at the connections, a leak is detected.(If a leak is detected, immediately turn off the gas supply, tighten any leaking fittings, turn gas on, and recheck).

4. Turn off the knob on the fuel supply cylinder.5. Turn on the burner control knobs for a moment to release the pressure in the hose, then turn

the control knobs back off.6. Wash off soapy solution with cold water and towel dry.

Check all gas supply fittings before each use and each time the gas supply cylinder is connected to the regula-tor. Leak test any time a part of the gas system is replaced. Perform a leak test at least once a year whether ornot the L.P. gas supply cylinder has been disconnected.

13

Note: If you cannot stop a gas leak turn off the gas supply and call your local gas utility, or the dealer you purchased the appliance from. If necessary, replace the faulty part with a manufacture recommended replacement part.

USING THE GRILL

Grill Location

Do not use the grill in garages, breezeway, sheds or any enclosed area. Never operate the grill in enclosedareas as this could lead to a carbon monoxide buildup, which could result in injury or death. Place the grill ona level surface. Avoid moving the grill while it is operation.

Note: The grill will operate best if it is not facing directly into the wind.

Clearance to combustible construction - A minimum of 12” from the sides and back must be maintained fromthe gas grill above and below the cooking surface to adjacent vertical combustible construction.

Clearance to non-combustible construction - A minimum of 3” clearance from the back of the grill to non-combustible construction is required for the lid to fully open.

General Rules

Do Not leave the grill unattended while cooking!

1. Make sure the grill has been leak tested and is properly located.2. Light the grill burners using the instructions on this page.3. Turn the control knobs to “High” and preheat the grill for 10 minutes.4. Place the food on the grill and cook to the desired doneness. Adjust heat setting between “High”

and “Low” if necessary.5. Allow grill to cool down and clean the drip tray after each use.

Grill Cure Time

The Altima gas grill comes equipped with a state of the art firebrick liner. The firebrick, which lines theinside of the grill, needs to be cured before food is cooked on the unit. Make sure the grill has been leakedtested and is properly located. Light the grill burners according to the instructions in this manual. Turn themain burner’s control knobs to the “High” position and close the hood of the grill. Allow the grill to operatefor 35 minutes to ensure that the firebrick has been cured thoroughly. Let the grill cool down for at least 30minutes before using the unit to cook on.

Note: The firebrick liner only needs to be cured one time before being used for cooking.

Firebrick Liner

The inside of the grill is lined with a clay firebrick to enhance cooking performance. The curing of the fire-brick is an essential process to ensure the maximum performance from the grill. The firebrick panels are engi-neered to create maximum dispersed heat across the entire grill cooking surface. Over time, small cracks mayform in the firebrick. This is a normal occurrence and will not affect the performance of the unit.

USING THE ROTISSERIE BURNER

The grill rotisserie system is designed to cook items from the back using infrared heat. The rotisserie burneris an infrared type which provides intense searing radiant heat. Preferred by chefs over other cooking methods,this intense heat is magnificent for searing in the natural juices and nutrients found in quality cuts of meats.

Once lit, the rotisserie burner will reach cooking temperatures in 1 minute. The orange/red glow will even outin about 5 minutes. The rotisserie motor is equipped with metal gears and is capable of turning up to 55 lbs.of food. The motor is mounted on a block on the left side of the grill by sliding it over the block into placeand tightening the two screws. Make sure the motor is straight prior to operating.

18

Using the Rotisserie Burner

The skewer is assembled into the motor assembly byplacing the pointed end into the motor, and resting thethreaded end on the support on the right side of thegrill. With the skewer pushed as far as possible intothe motor, the grooved cutout should rest on the rightside bracket. Screw the handle on. (See Fig. 17)

With the rotisserie motor in place and plugged into anelectrical outlet it is now ready to operate. To loadthe skewer, begin with the handle in place, and slideone of the meat forks onto the skewer. (prongs facingaway from the handle) Push the skewer through thecenter of the food, then slide the second meat forkonto the skewer. (prongs toward the food) Center thefood to be cooked on the skewer, then push the meatforks firmly together. Tighten the wing nuts with pli-ers. It may also be necessary to wrap food withbutchers string, (never use nylon or plastic string) tosecure loose portions. Once the food is secure insertthe skewer into the motor assembly. (If neededremove the cooking grates for more room.). It is nor-mal for the skewer to flex when cooking larger cuts ofmeat. Turn the power switch to the on position tostart the rotisserie motor.

Note: Remove the rotisserie when not in use.

Fig. 17

Warning: Electrical Grounding Instructions

This appliance (rotisserie motor) is equipped with a three-prong (grounding) plug for your protection against shock hazard and should be plugged directly into a properly grounded three-prong receptacle. Do not cut or remove the grounding prong from this plug.

USING THE ROTISSERIE BURNER

Rotisserie Lighting

Open the lid. Push and turn the control knob a 1/4turn to the left, then push in the safety knob locateddirectly above the Infrared control knob. While hold-ing in the safety knob, press and hold the electronicignitor button. You’ll hear a snapping sound. If theburner does not light in 4 seconds, turn the controlknob to the “OFF” position and wait 5 minutes beforetrying again. Once lit, it is necessary to hold in thesafety knob for about 20 seconds to allow the thermo-couple to heat up. After 20 seconds, release the safe-ty knob and turn the control knob to the desired set-ting. (See Fig. 18)

(If the ignitor does not function, the burner can be litby holding a lit match to the burner while the controlknob is turned a 1/4 turn to the left and the safetyknob is pressed in.) (See. Fig. 19)

After the first use the stainless steel around the burnerwill darken. This is a normal occurrence of the non-rusting, type 304 stainless steel used on the grill. Theinfrared panel will also darken after initial use. Thisis a normal occurrence.

Note: Do Not operate the main burners and back infrared burners at the same time.

Fig. 19

CARE and MAINTENANCE

Drip Tray

The drip tray located at the bottom of the grill should be cleaned periodically to prevent heavy buildup ofdebris. The drip tray can be lined with aluminum foil for easier cleaning.

Note: Allow the drip tray to cool before attempting to clean.

Cooking Grates

The cooking grates can be cleaned immediately after cooking is completed and after turning off the flame.Wear a barbecue mitt and scrub the cooking grates with a damp brass bristle barbecue brush. If the grill isallowed to cool down cleaning will be more difficult.

Stainless Steel

The grill is made from a non-rusting stainless steel. After initial usage, areas of the grill may discolor fromthe intense heat given off by the burners, this is normal.

Purchase a mild stainless steel cleaner and scrub in the direction of the grain of the metal. Specks of grease can gather on the surfaces of the stainless steel and bake on to the surface and give theappearance of rust. For removal use an abrasive pad, (Scotch Brite) in conjunction with a stainless cleaner.

Note: Always scrub in the direction of the grain.

20

Burner Removal and Cleaning

Burner RemovalBefore removing ensure that the gas supply is off andthe knobs are in the “Off ” position. Make sure thegrill is cool.

Remove the cooking grates, then lift out the flavorgrid. (See Fig. 20)

Remove the screws at the back of each burner, thenremove the dip guard. Then remove the two screwsholding the ignitor and lay it on the bottom of thegrill. (See Fig. 21)

Loosen the three screws holding in the heat shieldlocated at the front side of the grill before removingthe burners. (See Fig. 22)

Grasp and push the burner towards the back of thegrill to detach the burner from the valves.Angle the burner up and pull out making sure the tabsslide up through the cutouts on the support channel atthe rear of the grill body. (See Fig. 23)

Burner Cleaning

Clean the exterior of the burner with a wire brush.Clear stubborn scale with a metal scraper. Clear anyclogged ports with a straightened paper clip. (Neveruse a wooden toothpick, as it may break off and clogthe port.) Shake out any debris through the air shut-ter.

Burner Re-Attachment

Grasp the burner and slide the ends through the holesin the heat shield over the valves, while lowering therear of the burner down into the cutouts at the rear ofthe grill. (See Fig. 23, again)

Once in place, make sure the burner is level andreplace the ignitor, rear drip guard and tighten theheat shield securely with the screws.(See Fig. 21 and 22, again)

Re-install the flavor grid and cooking grates.

Light all of the burners and check for proper flamecharacteristics. Do this prior to cooking on the grill.
